CGT March: What will happen with flights and airports this Wednesday, February 11?

The CGT union has announced a partial strike and march towards the National Congress, impacting flight schedules at major airports in Argentina.

The CGT union, representing workers in the transport sector, has called for a partial strike and a march to the National Congress on February 11, coinciding with the Senate's extraordinary sessions to discuss a controversial labor reform project. The strike, orchestrated by the Asociación de Pilotos de Líneas Aéreas (APLA), aims to express discontent over proposed changes to labor laws that could affect workers' rights and benefits.

The protest is expected to disrupt operations at key airports, specifically Aeroparque and Ezeiza, starting at 14:00. This mobilization will involve pilots and crew members from various airlines halting their work in solidarity with the broader national protest initiated by the Confederación Argentina de Trabajadores del Transporte (CATT). The unions are united in their opposition to the labor reform, which they believe could undermine job security and the rights of workers across different sectors.

The implications of this strike are significant, as it not only highlights the ongoing tensions between labor unions and the government regarding labor policies, but also affects travelers and the general public by creating uncertainty around flight schedules and airport operations. The outcome of this protest may influence the Senate's decision-making process on the labor reform and demonstrate the strength of union organization in Argentina.
